About the Project

“Bronx. Four Seasons” is a series of faceted glass compositions illustrating the four seasons with views of the Bronx from the Prospect Avenue station. The works by artist Marina Tsersarskaya feature the intricate and delicate design of the historic railings found in the station and depict an urban landscape of buildings, trees, and flowers, filtering the bright sunlight through the windows to create a transformed station environment that combines the city and nature into a single artistic vision.
